Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way through a target network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are typically unleashed on weekends and late at night, when IT staff are likely to be slower to recognize a break-in and are least able to mount a quick and forceful response.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to assist you to take the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's remote ransomware experts can assist businesses to locate and isolate infected servers and endpoints and protect clean resources from being penetrated.
